Who can volunteer?
We welcome volunteers who are interested in sustainability, environmental protection, engineering, renewable energy or practical community projects.
No specific professional qualification is required. Technical, engineering, environmental, construction, design or recycling experience is a valuable advantage, but enthusiasm and a willingness to learn are most important.
Volunteers usually contribute 20–25 hours per week, from Monday to Friday, approximately 4–5 hours per day.
The daily schedule is flexible and agreed with the local project coordinator depending on weather, project activities and current priorities.
Weekends are free for volunteers to explore Arusha, experience Tanzanian culture or join optional trips and activities.
